Corrie lovebirds in reunion at ITV Dancing On Ice that viewers may have missed

There was a Coronation Street reunion on Dancing On Ice that viewers may have missed.

Holly Willougby and Phillip Schofield were back on screens on Sunday night as they hosted the ITV skating competition's movie week special.

The remaining couples all took to the ice to perform their latest routine to an iconic film number - from Dirty Dancing to Indiana Jones.

Our very own Sally Dynevor was seen channelling her "inner Judy Garland" as she performed to The Trolley Song from Meet Me In St Louis.

The Corrie icon and her professional skating partner, Matt Evers, earned themselves a respectable score of 26 from the judges

The 58-year-old was particularly praised for a head spin in the routine, with judge Oti Mabuse telling the soap actress she was "proud" of her, adding that she was "clapping" through the whole performance.

But Ashley Banjo, who said he had enjoyed her performance, had one major note: "I want you to let go of Matt," he said.

Sally is best known to viewers as ambitious Sally Metcalfe - nee Webster - in the long-running ITV soap, a part she has played since 1986.

Before her routine, Dancing On Ice fans saw her being supported on the Salford-based set by her co-stars Samia Longchambon and Jane Danson who have both starred in the skating competition themselves.

But there was also a Corrie reunion in the audience as she was cheered on by on-screen daughter Brooke Vincent and Sacha Parkinson.

Brooke is known for her portrayal of Sophie Webster in the ITV soap, but hasn't been seen on screen since going on maternity leave in 2019.

Fans will remember Sacha for playing Sophie's almost-wife Sian Powers from 2009 to 2011.

Sian left Weatherfield heartbroken and devastated after Sophie struggled to say her vows at the alter.

But off-screen, Brooke and Sacha have remained friends and joined together on Sunday night to support Sally.

@_erinz_ tweeted: "Sally looks absolutely beautiful and aww Brooke and Sacha are there for support <3 #DancingOnIce."

Brooke spoke to host Holly (ITV)

"Nice to see so many #Corrie stars on the show supporting @sallydynevor tonight... @realsamia @RealJaneDanson @BrookeLVincent & @SachaLParkinson #DancingOnIce," @griannedoherty2 said.

However, Sian looked totally unrecognizable thanks to swapping her blonde hair for darker locks.

@SkylarTwisty commented: "Is that Sian next to Sophie from #Corrie #DancingOnIce."

And fans were quick to call out Holly thanks to her 'snub'.

@legars_92 wrote: "The way Holly just ignored Sian who was at right next to Sophie omg #Corrie #DancingOnIce."
